I am upset!

I am not kind of person who get angry very easily! Patience has always been my best friend since I got mixed with my in law family 10 years ago. You can't imagined how many times I almost explode yet I took grip of my anger and unleashed it somewhere else.However, I am not a Saint,  I am just a human being and my patience does have a limit just like other ordinary human being!

It's been a while this particular persons ( let me called them A & B ) tried to make me look a villain when the truth is I am the victim of their materialistic attitude. This feud started 2 years ago and until now they still  hold grunge with me. My kids and me was banned from interfering in A life. We don't even allowed to pay him visit while B was the one who quarreled with my hubby and you know what, it's all because of money! 

I never hold  grunge to any of them because I realized that me too contributed to that feud. I amnot sure about my hubby because he is a stubborn person. My hubby, A & B were stubborn kind of person and they have an ego as high as a mountain! 

I am angry and upset because I have to stay back  from attending any occasion whenever A or B will attend it! Tomorrow is my favorite sister in law engagement day. Last night my mom in  law called and told us that B will arrived at her place tonight . She asked is it okay for us?  This really irritating  & frustrating because I have no problem with B anymore! If B want to live with the past and her grunge, it's her problem not mine! I already forgave her for putting my kids and me out from A life.

The worst thing of all is how B tried to humiliated us through her comment in Facebook. Though it's not directly to us but who else she referred as "ungrateful" than us who in debt with A!  can't imagined how can she comment to other people about kindness and goodness when she never find in her heart to be kind to her own flesh and blood.

This is what i hate the most with my husband family! They are too materialistic! No money, No talks! That is their motto. This is the reason why I feel ashamed to introduced them to my kind heart family.. My family might not materially wealthy but morally they are and I am proud of my family back in Sabah!

I have shed lots of tears because of my in law family.. I hope my hubby can reconcile with A & B and end up any worthless feud between them.. Isn't blood thicker than water?  I prays that someday they will find in their heart the willing to forgive and forget..

Bundu Tuhan folk conserve their forest

Bundu Tuhan folk conserve their forest

Bravo Bundu Tuhan folks!

I highlighted some of the sentences that we should pay attention :-

1) “We want the Government to recognise our claim. In managing the forest, we’re not following their rules but ours. Under Forestry Department rules, we’ll be deemed as encroaching into the forest reserve.”

2) “We want to manage the forest according to our rules as government rules can be changed at the Dewan Negari and we are not told about it.”

3) “We’ve already lost Kinabalu. We want to make sure we keep this forest, otherwise it might be taken by others.”


An effort like this should be practice by all Sabahan folks to ensure our forest will stand still for our future generation. We should applause those folks for voicing out their right to preserve and conserve their own forest.

For those who might misunderstood, they were not whining okay! ( please note the sarcasm )

April Fool Alert!

As always my hubby send me to my office. All of sudden he slapped his head and said, " Lupa la pula bagi tau awak.."

Puzzled, I asked," What's a matter? something happened? "

" Do you know that Datuk K was accident last night? " he told me with serious face.
" Parah pula tu.. " he added again.

" Datuk K, Siti's hubby? Betul ke? How do you know?" I asked him.
" Keluar berita la semalam. kat FaceBook pun dah heboh," he replied.
" Poor thing.. Last night, ada baca pasal siti dah pregnant. She must be devastated kan.." I said to him..

Then, I started talking about posting this stuff to my blog, FB etc.. My hubby smiled and said, " gotcha! "

I looked at him and said, " what? "
He laughed, " April Fool!" Then everything dawned to me. He pranked me! hahahaha

This is just an example of April Fool kind because there are lots of other prank that people can put you through on 1st April. I am lucky because my hubby never tried something extreme like giving a box of worm to as gift ( I will definitely faint if this ever happen! ) or put glue to my clothes and I can't imagine how hilarious things can be to some people who become the victim of sadistic / mean prank!

So be careful because you never know what people will tries to do to you on this April Fool!

World Book Day / Month

Next month ( or maybe should I say tomorrow ) gonna be my favorite month because there will be lots of Book Fair in conjunction with World Book Day which held on 23rd April every year.

MPH, one of my favorite bookstore is conducting lots of interesting activities such as  quiz, competition etc. to support the world book day which will held for whole month of April.

Well, I am aiming to buy lots of books for my collection & also story books & activity books for my kids.

I already listed some must have books that I must or at least try to buy with 'good' price. Among it is the book from our former prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. Yeah, I haven't yet buy the book because I am so damn busy..
Frankly, I can finished up to 5 books ( 100 - 300 pages ) per day if nobody disturbed me! And NO, I don't skipped any pages! Wanna know the secret? READ HERE !

So I guess I need to restore my energy to the max condition before I started my month of reading! My hubby gonna be mad.. April, here I come!

Reality Show In Malaysia

 Mentor 5 by tv3 is still on air and recently AF9 by Astro announced their 12 finalist.. There are lots of post about this two reality show in Malaysia, so I decided to voice out my own point of view about this show..

First of all, I am not fan of this show and I don't even watch this show.. In fact I don't like this show at all..

Why?

• Too much gimmick
• Too much dramas










• Winner decided by SMS votes

As simple as that. We all know that every movement ( except for private stuff ) of the participant recorded all along during this show and  the participant even realized about this. So, how we gonna know whether their attitude or behavior is not an act / gimmick to gain votes from the audiences? We never know! People can manage to act cool and nice whenever they are aware that someone is observing them!

I know that audience nowadays are wiser and knowledgeable about music and entertainment industries but do they really know what is it about? Try asking them what exactly the meaning of ' pitch ' in the term of music. Maybe some of them might give the right answer but do they really understand it? I don't think so...

Moreover, how can you be sure that the winner really is the one with the highest SMS votes win when there are no apparatus that can show you the result? Some people said they can even manipulated the SMS result to gain more money because there is no way we can ever  know how exactly this system operate.. In my mind, I imagined a big screen with  a hit counter that keep increasing whenever the audience vote  for each of the participant. You  know like the stat counter in our blog, where we can observe how many people visited our blog.. But so far, I never see they show us those screen to confirm that they are not manipulating the result..

How many artist that born from this reality show survived after the show then? From my own observance; very few of them. Doesn't it mean something? 

American Idol also used the same judgment method yet I likes this show more than Mentor 3 and AF.. The truth is I like international reality show such as Got To Dance (UK) & X factor because I likes the quality of the participant. Remember Akai , now 12year old, winner of the Got To Dance (UK) 2009? He is really a talented kid.. His performance really stunned me! There also Leona Lewis from the X Factor, who is popular with the song 'Bleeding Love'.. Don't forget about Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and many more AI finalist who rise and shine to be a world class star!

Maybe it's not fair to compare our reality show finalist with them since our industry market is not as big as them. But, my main point here is whether all of those reality show in our country really produced a batch of good and quality artist or vice versa..

P/S - I don't watch but I support Sabahan Participant ( If any )
